Software or Virtual and 300mb connection

Hi,

Seeking advice on a couple issues if I may.

1) From a security point of view would running software version of the Sophos UTM be more secure than running on Hyper-V? I would have thought the answer would be yes to that but interested on opinions.

2) Has anyone built a UTM capable of supporting an internet connection of 300mb down with 30mb up? Interested if anyone has and what hardware they used as I was looking into an Asus P9D-C/4L with a xeon CPU. The usage will mainly be a couple web servers which do get hammered with bandwidth but there are a handful of staff behind it too.

Thanks in advance and look forward to any replies [:)]

Boards with onboard NICs are fine if they're Intel or Broadcom.

I'm not sure if the i210AT works, but I'm pretty sure the base i210 is supported in 9.1x.
I have an i217-V which is working in the 9.2 beta.

Most quad NICs need good airflow or they'll overheat, so make sure to get a decent case.

An i7 would be fine; I'd recommend getting a Haswell chip / board as it'd be a little faster.
Look at my other posts (link above); there's a few dual-Intel-NIC mini-ITX haswell boards.
